Rocky wants to know what is in that little box.....

Happy 100th Oklahoma

My husband works for a local bank, who, today are having a HUGE centennial celebration. They have food, balloons, a wagon, even a chocolate fountain. So, just to be a pain, this morning I look at him and say:

Me: Where's the indian?
CF: What?
Me: The indian. You know, Oklahoma, it means land of the red people. THE INDIAN.
CF: Ha ha.
Me: No, I am serious, the 1/8th of me that is Choctaw is highly offended at your celebrating the taking of my ancestors land and now partying over it.
CF: Yep, that's us, cheating, land-stealing sons of *****es.

Now, we had a good laugh at this until I found out that there are tribes protesting at the Capitol today. You have to admit, they kind of do have a point!

Oh, and just to be a smart alec, I suggested they take a bow and arrow and shoot the arrow into the canvas of the wagon top. Warped, I know!

punched in the stomach

It was a monsterously busy weekend. Dillon played in the band again at the Pittsburg Co. Cattlemens car party, and Sis had a rodeo yesterday. There were moments of pride so deep and laughter until tears came, but it was all overshadowed by the death of a beautiful little girl that we knew. The news of her accident, and thoughts of it now, leave me feeling like I have been punched in the stomach. I hear people say, "How do you survive losing a child?", but the truth is that they have no choice. God chose to take this child home and He chose to leave her family here. The pain they feel is beyond my understanding. They are continually in my thoughts and faithfully in my prayers.

How much longer will this last?!!

Conversation:

Dillon: Mom, those girls are bothering me.
Me: Well, thats because you are so handsome.
Dillon: Not funny.
Me: Sorry, but someday little girls are going to be chasing you all over the playground.
Dillon: If I bring them to you, will you whip them?

Lost in Translation

Ok, so I recently got on this rant about attitude and rights and taking God out of our society. Several people have asked me, So what are you going to do about it. (No, D- you werent the first) The answer is, I don't know. I WANT to do something, I just have no direction as to what or how. Letter writing campaign, email CEO's, what? I'm not afraid to voice my opinions, we all know that, with this situation, I just dont know who to voice it to! If you'd like to read the rant, I'll email it to you. If you have any helpful suggestions I'll take those too!

HUH?

I have been accused more than once of having a really weird sense of humor. Stupid comedy doesnt entertain me at all, with the exception of the Adam Sandler movie where he is the golfer and Jim Carrey in Liar Liar. Anyway....this morning on the radio:

A prison on Denmark has decided that taking a new interest in the inmates physical health can help improve their quality of life inside the institution. Basing their health improvement plan on Olympic type events, the inmates are now being trained in such events as pole vaulting.

Cracked me up. Are we SURE this is the best idea? What's next? Cross Country Track and Field?
